When accessing/opening the Tableau dashboard on the browser, add the following parameter text at the end of the URL.
?:embed=yes&linktarget=_self
For example,
https://server.example.com/t/SiteName/views/WorkbookName/DashboardName?:embed=yes&:linktarget=_self
The URL action link defined in the dashboard will open in the same window.
The ?:linktarget parameter in a Tableau URL does not apply directly to the view being loaded (as does ?:embed=y, ?:Category=Technology, etc). Instead, the ?:linktarget= parameter controls the behavior of all links within the view that the parameter was added to. Therefore, in order to cause the URLs within the view to open within the same window, ?:linktarget=_self must be appended to the URL of the initial view.
